Los Angeles, December 15 - The next installment of the "Fast and Furious" film franchise has been delayed by a month to May 2023, by Universal Pictures. The 10th and second last film in the long-running ode to fast cars, physics-defying stunts, and family will hit theaters on May 19, 2023, according to Variety.

"F10" was earlier slated for April 7, 2023, release. The said date will now be taken by an untitled animated film coming from the studio behind Shrek. The move to May puts Fast 10 right at the start of the summer blockbuster movie season.



Fast 10 will serve as the first half of a two-part finale for the Fast and Furious franchise. It was originally announced for the 2021 release but was pushed back after F9 was delayed to this past summer due to the COVID-19 pandemic. F9 set several pandemic box office records and grossed over $726 million worldwide, becoming the fourth highest-grossing film of 2021.

Justin Lin, who previously directed on Fast 3 through 6, and F9, will return to direct the film for the last time. The movie will also bring back many members of the family, including Vin Diesel's Dom, Michelle Rodriguez's Letty, Sung Kang's Han, and others.

Meanwhile, Vin Diesel had recently requested Dwayne Johnson, who plays enemy-turned-friend Luke Hobbs in the Fast movies, to come back for the two-part finale F10. The Rock, however, earlier confirmed that he would not return for Fast 10 or 11, and would instead focus on the spinoff series, Hobbs & Shaw.
